While a second said: "Dawg got muscles on top of muscles."

And a third put: "He could be a hell of a powerback can't wait to see who picks him up."

However, one fan insisted: "Being jacked was never his problem. He still looks like he’s running in quicksand."

And a second agreed: "He definitely isn’t mobile enough. Look at how tight he runs and how long it takes him to get to full speed. He needs to cut some of that muscle off to become more flexible and less stiff in his motions."

While a third added: "He’s a marginal NFL player. Should just chill on dads money."
